Liberal Gun Club
Interesting organization. A lot of pro-gun folks could turn away lefty gun owners. But the Liberal Gun Club needs to come up with a way or a why to how democrats and their other liberals can further gun rights. And, you know, also to get them to not be openly hostile to those rights.

I’ve just joined and you’re right that the org is still finding its feet re strategy and ideology. but those things don’t happen overnight and the LGC is, at this point, an affinity group and an educational organization, not a single issue advocacy group. Note that there is no political arm to the LGC, although the CA club is moving that way.
i think the LGC has huge advantages over the NRA in a place like CA, where gun control is a reactive habit and the audience is going to be liberals (in office and otherwise).
My hope is that we can articulate a truly liberal vision of gun rights as a tool of empowerment – for blacks, women, gays, wage earners, etc.
